About
Pianist/composer Armen Donelian has channeled influences like his Armenian heritage and classical piano training into a diverse career as a respected jazz artist and educator. His sideman credits include performances with Chet Baker, Thomas Chapin, Sonny Rollins, and Mongo Santamaria, among many others, and he has performed/recorded extensively as a solo pianist and leader of his own small groups. He has also authored pedagogical books/articles and served on the faculty of the Manhattan School of Music and New School University. The All Music Guide’s Glenn Astarita called his Playscape debut, 2003’s Quartet Language featuring the late saxophonist Thomas Chapin, “a masterpiece,” and Northeast Performer declared, “The record is absolutely gorgeous.”
